Free agent CB Richard Sherman Ready to Play

[Krabs]

One of my least favorite players of all time is Richard Sherman. It is not because of his play but because of his mouth. We've seen what Kevin King is bringing to the table in terms of talent.

Our defense needs a jolt. Is it time to bring a guy like Sherman in?

Apologies if this is being discussed elsewhere. I looked and didn't' see a thread.

 

[Poppa San]

Does our backfield scheme allow him to play the style that suits him best or would it be a square peg thing?

 

[Dantés]

Yes, Joe Barry's defense could incorporate his play style if he still has "it."

i think it is clear that his best days are behind him or he would not still be a free agent.

Of course.

Right, but a one year deal for a veteran to get King on the bench might be a good thing. Even if he's one step out the door on his NFL career he's gotta be better than King.

If king were released right now, (dont care about contract or legality of doing it, just if he was)

would he be picked up?

That's a hard question to answer, but I would wager that he would be. Veteran guy that is still young. I think someone would take a flyer on him. I bet Sherman suits up with someone this season as well.

I`d take Sherman in a heartbeat. Always was one of my favourite players.

Give King one last game against SF and see how he does. If it’s another disastrous performance than it might be smart to bring in Sherman.

So if he gets picked up right away, why isnt sherman?

Demands to much? Only wants few teams?

Probably his legal issues this offseason. Older player with baggage.

That happened way after free agency

Think so? Not sure on the timeline. He’s definitely older with an attitude. He’s a jerk in my opinion. Just wondering if it would be worth it to bring a guy like him in.

It was July.

So why wasnt he picked up before that?

Something stinks..

 

[gopkrs]

Is it even smart to want a cnr or anyone else when we need D line? Just asking.

I would definitely prefer the Packers to figure out if Stokes is up to the task of playing outside opposite of Alexander before thinking about signing Sherman.

 

[PackAttack12]

Stokes has all of the tools. I'm optimistic that he'll make big leaps throughout the season.

player - maybe...diva? yes...all he needs to do is to grow the man bun...

 

[I asked LT to delete my acct]

I honestly can`t see where this diva comment comes from though. He was always intelligently outspoken, but not that outspoken as he could back it up with his play, like Randy Moss could too. I`d hardly call them divas, just super sure of their own talents. JMHO

People like Crabtree and the like were divas, and I`m sure research could find many more. Jay Schroeder comes to mind. He even snubbed his OWN team mates. Sherman always praised his fellow players at Seattle.

 

[lambeaulambo]

If it is a choice between him and King, then yes - I'm ok w it.

You have to realize that the Packers are on the hook for the entire salary for King even if they move on from him at this point.

Sherman is headed to Tampa Bay for a visit with the Buccaneers.
